    Wow, it seems that Google is experimenting quite a lot these days.

    While surfing one of my sites, I found a pleasant surprise. A new sleek Google ad with a rounded design. I also noticed that the border that I specified between the ads were gone.

    I wouldn't be too bothered if they actually made this the official style for their ad units. :cool:

    That is much sleeker :D But the ads by google stands out way too much :( (will make it hard for blending if they decide to keep this)

    I don't see any reason to change it. Looks like they are looking to promote their own brand yet again. People know they are Ads By Google, why make it so much more prominent?

    Right, but lately all ads are starting to look like google .. I was making comments on this last week. the bidvertiser and yahoo ads look very similar to Google in my opinion. I like Google moving ahead and the ads look streamlined to me. Nice choice. To each his own :) hehe aero dynamic ads ;)

    it's not a good thing, i guess. that means more and more people will be aware that it is an Ads and not many people gonna click on the ads, you think?

    its not clean anymore...it stands out...

    its a good thing if you're an advertiser who doesnt like to lose money by having people tricked into going to your site and just leaving as a result =)

    Looks good, but the "ads by google" stands out way more than the usual ones. Other than that it is sexy :D
